Workplace injury intake for Des Moines firms.
Workplace injury inquiries need sorting early: workers' compensation, a third-party claim, or both. Casestead answers every workplace injury inquiry to your firm in about a minute, day or night, and books qualified people with your intake team in Des Moines.
What the reply desk asks
Qualifying questions come from your firm's written criteria. For workplace injury inquiries, firms usually ask for:
- Employer and type of work
- Date of the injury and how it happened
- Whether it was reported to the employer
- Whether a workers' compensation claim is open
- Any outside contractor, equipment maker or property owner involved
- Whether they have a lawyer
Why the first minute matters
Injured workers often reach out after a shift or on weekends. Fast answers, and questions that spot possible third-party claims, help your team see which inquiries deserve an attorney's time first.
Follow-up
Unsigned consults get a follow-up draft about their injury and where things stand, approved by your intake lead.
Iowa context for intake
The general limitation period for personal-injury negligence claims in Iowa is 2 years. Inquiries about older incidents are flagged for a lawyer instead of being booked like a new case.
Iowa follows modified comparative fault with a 51% bar: a claimant more at fault than the other side generally recovers nothing.
General rules for context only, not legal advice. Exceptions apply (minors, government defendants, discovery rules, recent amendments). Your firm's lawyers decide.
Questions

Yes, one personal-injury firm per metro, by application. Applications from Des Moines are read in the order they arrive.
Does the system decide between workers' comp and a third-party claim?
No. It collects the facts your criteria ask for and flags what your team wants flagged. A lawyer decides.
Can it reply in the language the worker used?
Replies go out in the channel and language your firm sets up for each source. Your team approves the wording during shadow mode.
